Thanks for that, I didn't know that and will certainly check it out. But here's the rub (or actually a very good thing): "Radiohead contributed their own audio masters of the show." That's really amazing, but also indicates (not necessarily, I grant that. The article doesn't say) that the project was actually planned and that the band and audience were in for it from the start.

  Fair point. I believe it was actually after the fact, and the fans approached Radiohead for the soundboard recording, but I Might Be Wrong.

    I really don't know. But in any case I really thank you for the links. It's great when shit like that gets real. And probably not only the fans that were at the gig, but a ton of other people will have a pleasurable experience with the result (and respect that band even more).

      The NME article [0] referenced by Wikipedia makes it sound like the band was aware of the project before the concert: > The group allowed a show in Prague in August last year to be filmed from a variety of angles throughout, and then provided soundboard masters for the film’s soundtrack.

        But then this [1] from the organiser of it all suggests otherwise to me: > And for a final and unhoped-for touch, Radiohead themselves accept to join this project by providing their audio mixes. [1] http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr/Thanks.html http://radiohead-prague.nataly.fr/Thanks.html
